This afternoon I finally got around to hooking up my 447 with my TS350 and switched out my Wilson 1000 for a Siro 5000 Antenna.
I had to go to a shop to verify my antenna match and it was spot on w/o any adjustment needed. I was pleasantly surprised that this radio has very little white noise which I cannot say about my SS 158 that I had a while back. As far as TX...I got great reports on solid audio. The TS 350 was set about 3/4 power. As far as receive....there is no doubt that the Siro 5000 outperformed the Wilson 1000 it replaced. It was apparent that I was able to pick up distant conversations that I was not able to get with the 1000. After one day I was well pleased with this set up.
My next comparison is to compare it to my 95T2.
